All eyes are on me now. I’m the one in the spotlight, and everyone is watching.
The girls are shaken once they realize the police have seized the contents in the bag at the start of Fakes episode 7. Becca suggests that Zoe change her appearance as the police have a record of her signing for the bag with a fake ID. Zoe is willing to cut and color her hair in order to avoid being identified. ..
Zoe’s new hairstyle has led to her getting more attention than ever before. The school calls the police to try and gauge how much they know, but the officer declines to share information as it is an active investigation. They come up with a plan to save themselves as it is inevitable that the police will find them soon.
Becca suggests to Zoe and Sally that they can stop the police hunt by becoming friends. Zoe agrees and says that this is a good plan. They hand over the IDs to Sally and act like everything is cool and calm. ..
On the one hand, Becca is under pressure from her parents to apply to universities. Tryst is beginning to trust the girls as they have conveniently neglected to mention the situation with Sally. He even hands them a spare key to the “office” and is working on relocating them by the end of the month. ..
The girls execute a plan to make Sally our best friend, but it proves to be harder than they expected. Becca is becoming more infuriated with Sally and takes it out on Zoe as she was the one who hired her in the first place. She is stressed out that their plan to be fake friends with Sally is not working and thinks they need another plan as a protection measure.
Sally and Becca argue about who should take the blame for the phantom of the opera. Sally wants to change the script and blame Becca, an actor. Becca is angry that she has not been responding to her messages.
Her mother is angry that Becca hasn’t contacted the deans at the university she mentioned. Becca says she doesn’t want to cheat her way into a university and her mom says they are not cheating just asking. The argument escalates and her father steps in.
Becca is more agitated after her fight with her parents and confronts Sally about the reality of her screw-up. Soon after, the police show up to talk to Sally. Becca and Zoe have a huge fight. They both say mean things to each other. ..
The Episode Review
Becca’s family problems and the pressure of working have finally caught up with her. She is struggling to maintain a balance and her mom’s visit threw her off balance.
I didn’t expect the two of them to fight as hard as they did. The police are close by and Sally may tell them about the investigation. They need a better plan if they think there is a chance they can come out of this unscathed. They should have stopped after the last order Sally messed up and stayed low. I wonder when they will tell Tryst about the police investigation into their business.
